HLT341 Health Honours Proposal (0)

This subject builds on the knowledge gained in research methods subjects by providing students with the opportunity to develop, under the guidance of an appropriately qualified supervisor, a research proposal using a selected qualitative or quantitative methodology. After receiving approval for the proposed research topic and being allocated a supervisor, students will complete a comprehensive literature review, followed by a comprehensive research proposal and preparation of a human ethical approval application for submission to a properly constituted Institutional Ethics Committee. This proposal will form the basis of research subsequently undertaken in the Honours Project/Dissertation subject.
